Now, here's something the Thackerays would be proud of. Geeta Gandbhir, 39, a Maharashtrian born and raised in the US, won an Oscar for editing the documentary Music By Prudence. The film looks at child disability in Zimbabwe. "A strong editor is key to the success of a documentary film," she says. Gandbhir has been in the film and TV field for 15 years and also runs a production house. And having grown up in a large, extended Maharashtrian family, she speaks Marathi too.
